Tiana lowered her eyes and nodded.
Seeing Tiana like this, Mika sighed and pulled her into an embrace, comforting her in a soft voice. "Tiana, I can see you still have feelings for Leo Joyce. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come back with him so easily. If you really can't let him go, you might as well try starting over."
"Mika..." Tiana looked up at Mika Summers in astonishment, a tremor running through her at those words.
"To be honest with you, I've met with Leo Joyce in private many times over the years."
Upon hearing this, Tiana's lips trembled so much she could barely speak. "M-Mika... you..."
"I've seen his feelings for you with my own eyes. In fact, your brother probably knew I was in contact with Leo Joyce and that we met occasionally. He just has too much pride to call me out on it."
"My brother... he doesn't object?" A bitter feeling welled up inside her. When she and Leo Joyce were together before, almost everyone in the family had been vehemently opposed.
